What is SSO?

With Single Sign-On (SSO), your users can log in to the online academy using an external account. Read more about SSO in general here.

In this article, we explain what needs to be configured to activate this integration with Okta.

To use SSO, users must already be added to the online academy. SSO does not create user accounts.

Read more here about adding users to your online academy.

How do I configure SSO?

We will provide instructions on how to set up SSO. Please consult Okta’s support for the precise settings.

Step-by-step guide for creating credentials in Okta

To set up SSO via Okta, you can follow the steps below. This Okta support article can also assist you in the process.

  1. Obtain our Metadata URL using the following link: http://saml2.rakoo.com/saml/metadata

    In our metadata, you will find our entityID. This needs to be entered at the Audience URL in the Okta SAML integration.

  2. Configure the attributes to match Rakoo:

    • firstname = user.firstname

    • lastname = user.lastname

    • email = user.email

  3. Next, you will need the credentials from Okta to configure the integration into your online academy. You can find this metadata at the 'sign on' tab at the SAML integration in Okta.

Step-by-step guide for creating the integration in the online academy

  1. Go to “Integrations” via the menu on the left.

  2. Under “Single Sign-On,” choose “Okta (SAML).”

  3. Click “Add.”

  4. Enter the information obtained from Okta.

  5. If desired, enable the toggles under “Integration status”:

    • Use “Activated” to specify whether the integration is active.

    • With “Login with button,” you can choose whether a button should be displayed on the login screen. If this option is disabled, users can only log in via an external SSO method (e.g. intranet).

  6. Save the changes to activate the integration.
